Myron
Orfield will speak on metropolitan cooperation to address
fiscal disparities, poverty and inequality. As a member of the
Minnesota State Legislature, Professor Orfield was involved
in developing ground-breaking tax sharing policies for the St.
Paul/Minneapolis region. His book, “Metropolitics”
has had national impact on the debate over metropolitan issues.

segregation in Chicago. Professor Forman is Co-Director of UIC’s
Chicago Area Study (CAS) Initiative which seeks to strengthen
research training and public-decision making in the State of
Illinois related to race and public policy. CAS annually collects
social science data that addresses the complex social forces
that influence the quality of life of residents in the Chicago
metropolitan area.
